Dr. Sylvia Earle is a world-renowned oceanographer, marine biologist, and National Geographic Explorer in Residence affectionately known by her fellow scientists, and peers alike, as “Her Deepness.”  She has logged more than 7,000 hours underwater.  What struck me most when I first met Sylvia was her ability to deeply touch my spirit when we talked about the oceans.  In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about “our power to change the nature of nature,” as Sylvia says, “through our options.” We talk about the pace at which the planet is warming, our impact on the oceans, and how we can govern ourselves better to ensure they (and we) have more longevity to make our survival and prosperity possible.  WORKS- founder, Mission Blue, an organization dedicated to protecting the ocean from threats such as climate change, pollution, habitat destruction, invasive species, and the dramatic decrease in ocean fish stocks- founder, Sylvia Earle Alliance-author, National Geographic Ocean: A Global Odyssey- author, The World is Blue- author, Sea Change- author, Blue Hope: Exploring and Caring for Earth's Magnificent Ocean
